AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 19, 2008 -- In a continued effort to restructure and refocus its operations, Chrysler LLC today announced further realignments within its Global Sales and Marketing organization.

As a result, the following responsibilities are realigned to Steven J. Landry, Executive Vice President - North American Sales, Marketing and Mopar Parts and Service: brand marketing, media and events, advertising, interactive and customer relationship management. Landry continues to oversee Mopar Parts, service, sales programs, dealer operations, field operations and distribution and Chrysler Canada.

Corporate research and global product planning are realigned to Michael Manley, Executive Vice President - International Sales and Global Product Planning Operations. Manley is also responsible for product planning, global demand planning, strategic portfolio planning, research, regional operations (Asia, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Chrysler de Mexico.

Deborah Meyer, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer announced that she will leave the Company, effective immediately, to pursue other opportunities. Chrysler will eliminate the position of Chief Marketing Officer.
